I sat by the dim lamp until late,
|
Remembering the old smell of distant places,
|
I walked through the blue twilight without a bottom,
|
Returning to the painted entrance.
|
Someone was waiting for me, or maybe not waiting,
|
Left, like a flag, an unlocked door,
|
Someone knew about everything, and maybe did not know,
|
And now...
|
Under the belly of the bridge
|
We drank wine with her
|
Could be up to a hundred years
|
We kiss but
|
Short river route
|
"Khvanchkara" is over
|
It's late, and they're waiting at home -
|
It's time...
|
Along the Moscow River and the sleepy Kremlin
|
I slide through the empty space of pavements,
|
And the traffic lights don't look at me
|
With the indifference of guards at the weekend.
|
The mother-of-pearl tan of the city
|
Covers the burning sunrise
|
And I think it's always been like this
|
Always that year.
|
Under the belly of the bridge
|
We drank wine with her
|
Could be up to a hundred years
|
We kiss but
|
Short river route
|
"Khvanchkara" is over
|
It's late, and they're waiting at home -
|
It's time...
|
There will be new winters and springs carousel
|
Swim repeatedly past us,
|
Will sing around, grow old, make the bed
|
And wait, God will give ...
|
And the heavenly calculator for a moment
|
It will not go astray, and moments, like wine,
|
He counts and spills what he cannot contain,
|
And here it is...
|
Under the belly of the bridge
|
We drank wine with her
|
Could be up to a hundred years
|
We kiss but
|
Short terrestrial route,
|
"Khvanchkara" is over
|
If they are not waiting anywhere -
|
It's time... |
